Did you check the ThreadPoolExecutor or the ProcessPoolExecutor? They
won't give you atomic writes unless you add a Lock or a Condition, but
they will execute your code in another thread or process.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/concurrent.futures.html#processpoolexecutor

Keep in mind that Python's threads have a global interpreter lock
(GIL) that prevents full parallelism. Processes work as expected, but
require IPC and pickable objects in and out.
